Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

Mia's voice turned serious. "Initially, I shared your perspective. However, Ms. Maynard's behavior at the kindergarten was anything but casual.

"If she's intent on escalating tensions with the Lane family, then so be it. I refuse to keep a potential threat near my children. That settles it." With that definitive statement, Mia abruptly ended the call.
